Summer Bridge Activities(r), Grades 1 - 2

One of the best books I have bought for my son aged 6. Has some very good activities. Use it to get some quiet sit down time

Very useful for grade 2 summer actitvities and interesting for kids

15 minutes a day, fun activities.

Intéressant

I have been using these the last few years with my kids and have been super impressed. I have used the preschool to kindergarten, 1st to 2nd grade, and 2nd grade to 3rd.My favorite thing about these work books are that they can be fast and simple lessons that usually take about 15 minutes or less to do. The other thing I like is they aren’t just math or reading. Each day they mix in several different concepts. I feel that way the kids don’t get overwhelmed with a subject or concept they might struggle with.It also GRADUALLY gets a little more difficult each day. So by the time summer is over they are being introduced to things that they will learn for the next year.They also come with flash cards that are made of good card stock to work on concepts like: letters, shapes, numbers, telling time, multiplication, divide, and other concepts that are age appropriate.There are small stickers at the back that the kids can put on their page after they are done that are just small stars. There is also a parent key at the back to check if the kid’s work is correct. I’m not going to lie I have used! :)Overall these have been great. The hardest thing I have struggled with is just being consistent and making sure they try and do them each day. When used these are fabulous!

We have used the Summer Bridge series for all 3 kids for the past 4 years. The books do a great job providing some structured learning for the kids over the summer. Do not expect this to be a summer tutor or be something to advance their skills. What it does well is give your kids some refresher activities to do on a daily/weekly basis just to keep their brains from turning to mush. What we really like about the Summer Bridge series is that there are "extra credit" tasks that really do go beyond their regular lessons, plus there are physical activities for the kids to perform at the end of each week. There are enough lessons to do one every day all summer long - about 15-20 min per page. Or you can group them and have your kids do a couple of hours of work in a block each week. Do not expect this to be something to keep your kids occupied for a couple of hours each day nor should you expect this to teach your kids alot of new things. It is a review / refresher approach that just keeps kids in the habit of engaging their brains!

These arrived in a timely manner. Each book for this grade 1-2 level has 3 sections. Some of the topics covered are reading comprehension, time, phonics, language arts and grammar, addition, counting, geometry, subtraction, problem solving, and other topics. Each page is perforated and can come out. The book has 3 sections, and 30 days of pages to complete. The book seems to be a good review during the summer for topics covered during their 1st grade school year. Some areas seem to be a bit more advanced; so I believe this will help prepare for next year in grade 2. For example: instead of simply counting by tens with 10, 20, 30, etc. the math problem may be to breakdown the number 393. So; 393 is matched to "three hundreds, nine tens, and three ones."
